A.L.O.N.E

Sometimes, I feel lonely at this foreign country.
Stayed at home all day long.
Not going anywhere.
Kind of wasting my weekend.

But the sad thing is, I drink alone at home.
ocha & kashiwa mochi かしわ餅 for my tea time :-)
Mochi really nice!

From Wikipedia:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9F%8F%E9%A4%85
柏餅是日本端午節的食品。由於槲櫟葉在新芽生出前,老葉不會掉落,有「子孫繁栄榮」。據說是德川幕府九代將軍德川家重時開始出現,自江戶時代流傳至今。

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9F%8F%E9%A4%85
5月5日端午節句の供物として用いられる。カシワの葉は新芽が育つまでは古い葉が落ちないことから、「子孫繁栄(家系が途切れない)」という縁起をかついだものとされる。

Visiting New Born Baby for the first time

Went to visit my ex-Japanese leader's house yesterday.
So glad to meet him again after 4-5 months.
He didn't change a lot!

His new born baby is so cute.
Still very tiny in size coz he is only one month old.

Saw another side of him, apart from "very serious at work" look.
So loving and caring!
I'm sure he will be a very good father :-)

Hope to see him again soon :-(
Hmm...

Erm...I lost some weight

 photo DSC_0268_zpsac617060.jpg
A recent photo of me.
Surprisingly, I lost 2.5kg since I came to Japan.
Lost weight in 3 weeks!
I eat normally and didn't do any exercise.
Only that I walked a lot, from my house to campus, walk around campus and walk back home....
I walk at least 4km everyday.
And I usually use staircase instead of elevator...lol.

My target is to lose another 3-5kg before this summer....hmm....is it possible?
